Avengers: Infinity War may introduce a new Marvel character from the comics even though directors Joe and Anthony Russo admitted they already have a full roster of Marvel superheroes in the upcoming movie.

Anthony told Yahoo movies: “We already have our hands full trying to tell the story we have without pre-existing characters.”

Joe said: “Anthony would probably die from exhaustion if we introduced another character” but his brother added: “That’s not to say we’re not going to introduce a new character.”

When asked if the character in question could be Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Anthony replied: “That’s one we’re going to have to plead the fifth on.”

And after Anna Kendrick recently revealed her interest in playing Squirrel Girl, the directors are enthusiastic.

Meanwhile, Marvel Studios recently renamed the next two Avengers movies from Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2, to Avengers: Infinity War, with the fourth film now being classed as untitled.

Explaining the change, they told CinemaBlend: “We wanted the movie to be very different and distinctive, you know. There’s certainly cross-pollination between characters and some story arcs, but you know, the first movie is very clearly Avengers: Infinity War and, in time, we will reveal what the second film is.”
